Terry william Sanderson OBITUARY

The family of Terry William Sanderson, 63, is saddened to announce his passing on March 10th, 2025, in Provo, Utah. Terry lived a life of love, family, and hard work. He was born March 31st, 1961, to Terry Sanderson and Carol Myers. He would be the oldest of 7 boys, and grow up hunting, fishing, and playing sports. Terry then married Tina Marie Stennett on June 12th, 1982, and together they shared over four decades together. Within those decades his two daughters, Haley and Elizabeth, were born, and he loved being their father, coach, and protector throughout the years. That love also spilled over to his grandchildren, including three added with Haley’s remarriage just two months prior to his passing. Terry spent the majority of his career working as a technician for the Vector Control District of Lakeport, CA. While his primary job was to spray for mosquitoes, he also maintained the vehicle fleet, designed and built various structures including a dock and a garage for the district, and basically did what needed to be done to keep the district running smoothly. He also enjoyed coaching his girls in soccer and softball, and had recently gotten into RC crawling. He got to spend the final years of his life living with his grandchildren in Utah, and he cherished the connection they shared. Terry is survived by his wife, Tina, and his daughters Haley Reynolds (Matthew) and Elizabeth Martinez (Brayden). He is also survived by his grandchildren- Elsie, Emmett, Hattie, Rosie, Donovan, Adelynn, and Emmeline. He is also survived by his father, Terry Sanderson (Roxanna), and his brothers Brett, Boyd, Fred (Kara), Craig (Kimberlyn), and Neil. He is predeceased by his mother Carol Myers, brother Jack Edward, and son-in-law Ryan Cole. To know Terry was to feel loved and understood. He could talk to anyone, and children especially felt his calm and accepting demeanor. He will be greatly missed, and leaves behind a legacy of patience, love, and laughter. Services were held Wednesday, March 19th, at 11 am at the Sunset Stake Center in Provo, Utah. There will also be a memorial held in Lakeport, CA, with a date to be determined.
